Antibiotics: An overview on the environmental occurrence, toxicity, degradation, and removal methods

Bioengineered, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 12(1), P. 7376 - 7416

Published: Jan. 1, 2021

Antibiotics, as antimicrobial drugs, have been widely applied human and veterinary medicines. Recently, many antibiotics detected in the environments due to their mass production, widespread use, but a lack of adequate treatment processes. The environmental occurrence has received worldwide attention potential harm ecosystem health. Research status environment field is presented by bibliometrics. Herein, we provided comprehensive overview on following important issues: (1) different compartments, such wastewater, surface water, soil; (2) toxicity toward non-target organisms, including aquatic terrestrial organisms; (3) current technologies for degradation removal antibiotics, adsorption, hydrolysis, photodegradation oxidation, biodegradation. It was found that macrolides, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, sulfonamides were most frequently environment. Compared groundwaters, wastewater contained high concentration antibiotic residues. Both metabolites exhibited especially organisms (e.g., algae fish). Fluoroquinolones, can be removed through abiotic process, photodegradation, oxidation. Fluoroquinolones directly undergo Further studies chronic effects at environmentally relevant concentrations urgently needed fully understand hazards help government establish permissible limits. Biodegradation promising technology; it numerous advantages cost-effectiveness friendliness.

The Impact of Tetracycline Pollution on the Aquatic Environment and Removal Strategies

Antibiotics, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(3), P. 440 - 440

Published: Feb. 23, 2023

Antibacterial drugs are among the most commonly used medications in world. Tetracycline is a widely antibiotic for human and animal therapy due to its broad-spectrum activity, high effectiveness, reasonable cost. The indications treatment with tetracycline include pneumonia, bone joint infections, infectious disorders of skin, sexually transmitted gastrointestinal infections. However, has become serious threat environment because overuse by humans veterinarians weak ability degrade. capable accumulating along food chain, causing toxicity microbial community, encouraging development spread resistance, creating threats drinking irrigation water, disrupting flora intestine. It essential address negative impact on environment, as it causes ecological imbalance. Ineffective wastewater systems main reasons increased concentrations aquatic sources. possible degrade breaking down into small molecules less harmful or nonhazardous effects. A range methods physical, chemical, biological degradation exists. review will discuss effects consumption describe available removal methods.

Environmental applications of ultrasound activated persulfate/peroxymonosulfate oxidation process in combination with other activating agents

Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 53(6), P. 780 - 802

Published: June 17, 2022

Ultrasonically activated persulfate (S2O82−, PS) or peroxymonosulfate (HSO5−, PMS) processes have sparked a lot of interest in the degradation emerging contaminants recent years, because their excellent potential and adaptability. In this review, synergistic effects ultrasound (US) other activating agents such as heat, ultraviolet light (UV), electricity, heavy metals were analyzed order to make recommendations for commercial exploitation. Several designs ultrasonic reactors direct indirect mode operation discussed with possible use activation PS/PMS refractory compounds. Applications suitable sonoreactor configurations water treatment, disinfection, wastewater treatment (synthetic/real wastewater), soil, sludge presented. It has been elucidated that selection optimized considering various parameters including geometric (type acoustic device, number transducers, configuration/arrangement transducers) operating (power dissipation, irradiating frequency, duty cycle) is important maximize efficacy activation. A systematic insight into mechanism US combination well effect US/other on also highlighted review. The work clearly key process intensification benefits terms higher oxidation capacity, reduced times cost based expected synergism combinations.
